J.K. Rowling is actively and aggressively using her wealth to attack Amnesty International. Specifically, she is trying to bankrupt them because they criticized anti-trans organizations.

Let that sink in.

1. She’s not just anti-trans. She’s pro-violence against trans folks. Because, yes, anti-trans organizations invoke violence against trans folks.

2. She’s so committed to this that she's trying to bankrupt the largest human-rights organization on the planet.

That’s nazi behavior. She’s a nazi.

On June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against 16-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, who had been fighting for five years to compete on her school's girls' track team as a transgender athlete. James Dale lost at the same court 26 years ago, after he had been expelled from the Boy Scouts for being gay. Here's an open letter from Dale to Pepper-Jackson, showing his support and admiration for her.
